  Apple Computer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Apple helped commence the personal computer revolution in the 1970s with the Apple II microcomputer and has since further shaped it with the Macintosh.
Apple is known for its innovative, well-designed hardware, such as the iPod and iMac, as well as software offerings exemplified through iTunes as part of the iLife suite and Mac OS X, its flagship operating system.
Apple was criticized for its vertically integrated business model, which runs against the grain of some of the "perceived wisdom" of economists, particularly for the computer industry.

 IGM: MDD G4 noise: Apple finally responds
Apple has announced The Power Mac G4 Power Supply Exchange Program, which offers owners of MDD (Mirrored Drive Door) PowerMac G4s the option of reducing the operating "acoustic level" (ie that thundering roar) of their computers by exchanging their original power supplies and system fans for new, quieter versions.
Apple prides itself on being the "better" computer and that is hard to do when your product has the nick name "WindTunnel" and part of your advertising for the replacement model is the loud noise is now fixed.
Apple has not published its dBA specs since the pre-dual G4s, I'm sure as a tech you can and will confirm that, (5) When they state in their KB doc on Jan 14 that "duals are expected to be loud" -- that dual = more heat = fans = loud...

 Paul Thurrott's Internet Nexus
Apple: "Comments made during this event may include forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from these forward-looking statements.
Apple finding success in the business market is a total pipe-dream (and frankly, an unecessary one: The company can do just fine in the consumer market) but that doesn't stop Business Week Online from taking a look at the Cupertino company's chances.
The Apple document, dated this month and recently obtained by Think Secret, confirms that the humming, buzzing, or high-pitched beeping noises exhibited by some dual-processor G5s are caused by their power supplies...

 Let's find a new CEO who will transform Apple down to its core
The Rat certainly is. Apple Computer Inc.'s chief executive officer departed just after the Rat had received an advance for The Gil Amelio Joke Book.
Apple needs someone with vision, someone willing to take risks, someone with a firm grasp on the helm of leadership.
With that in mind, the Rat has compiled a short list for Apple's directors to consider as they search for someone to reverse what amounts to 10 years-at least-of steaming toward destruction.

 Apple CEOs   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Steven Paul Jobs (born February 24, 1955) is the CEO of Apple Computer and a leading figure in the computer industry.
The first personal computer Jobs and Wozniak introduced was called the Apple I. It sold for $666.66, in reference to the phone number of Wozniaks Dial-A-Joke machine, which ended in -6666.
Because of his leadership at Pixar as well as his continuing work at Apple, Jobs is considered by some entertainment industry analysts to be a candidate to succeed Michael Eisner as CEO of The Walt Disney Company, which distributes and co-finances Pixars films.

Different reports have Apple using the eMate 300 design at the core of a new series of computers for the education market or as the base for an inexpensive network computer (a system that uses the network for storage, both for applications and files).
Apple is only subsidizing Mac OS licensees in that clone sales earn less for the company than Apple hardware sales, but there is no guarantee that the inability to purchase a Mac OS clone will return a customer to Apple: there are reasons why those customers left in the first place.
Apple, which still aspires to be a champion, still hasn't learned that winning the title belt requires staying in the ring, not fleeing when you're behind at the end of the fourth round, or the eighth, or the fourteenth.

 TidBITS#679/05-May-03
So yes, Apple is playing the game necessary to create a service like the iTunes Music Store, but given the company's need to work with the record labels that own copyright on the music, I can't see how Apple could have done anything else.
Apple also said that more than one million copies of iTunes 4 were downloaded last week, and the company also received more than 110,000 orders for new iPods, selling more than 20,000 in the U.S. last weekend.
These numbers are impressive, to say the least, and even the CEOs of two of the main record labels admitted their surprise in quotes for Apple's press release.

 PRESS RELEASE Chief Executive Magazine Names Dell Chairman & CEO as Top Brand Leaders   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The list, which is featured in the cover story of the November 2004 issue of Chief Executive magazine, was compiled in partnership with New York-based brand consulting firm Lippincott Mercer.
To build the list, Lippincott Mercer identified nine potential characteristics for a visionary brand leader listed in order of importance: customer experience, foresight and innovation, brand investment, brand value, brand image management, measuring and monitoring, marketplace vitality, design, and organizational stature.
Next, a "short list" was compiled of 77 companies that have earned worldwide recognition for a relevant dimension, such as being a "most admired company." Finally, using those building blocks, a web-based survey was used to query approximately 450 corporate and marketing executives.

For years Apple overpromised to customers and underdelivered to dealers, nearly self-destructing from inventory feasts and famines.
Apple would just ship computers with older and slower chips to customers who'd ordered faster ones.
In all fairness, Apple has had a stunning turnaround since the dark days under Gil Amelio.

 Dell and Creative: Challenged by the iPod?
It's a truism about the computer industry that when your competitors are talking in public about how they're not worried about you, they're doing a lot of worrying about you in private.
So perhaps Apple should take it as a huge compliment that within the space of a week, senior executives of both Dell and Creative have taken time out of their busy schedules to mention how they aren't concerned by the announcements the company made at this year's Macworld Expo in San Francisco.
Apple's strategy to exploit the success of the iPod in the wider computer market is an interesting one, which almost reverses the traditional relationship between the peripheral (in this case, the iPod) and the computer (a Mac).

A smarter mover would have been for Apple to continue on a (maybe Cell based) PPC roadmap for themselves, and allowed a dedicated PC manufaturer to be the Trojan Horse into the Windows fortress.
The Apple brand could then be viewed as doing what it's always been known for - pushing the boundaries - while HP can be the set-up man for the eventual takeover of the Windows World.
That's why I pointed out the contrast between Apple's willingness to spend some of their billions on absorbing losses, versus not being willing to pay IBM to develop the chips of the future they said they wanted.

Because Apple is in a new form of turmoil.
Yes, Apple has had many problems in the past -- new CEOs, bad products, confusing product line, no marketing, bad press and many more too numerous to list -- but Apple was looking like it was starting to turn around.
Then Gil Amelio and Ellen Hancock resigned, and Apple began to reneg on its licensing agreements, which could spell the doom of Apple (and I am one of the biggest fighters of the "gloom and doom" stories about Apple, but this move would spell disaster!).

 Darwin flaws survive in Apple's Mac OS X | CNET News.com
A source-code audit of the open-source operating system from which Apple Computer borrowed much of the code for Mac OS X revealed four vulnerabilities of varying severity in Apple's software, a security company said Monday.
The flaws in Darwin affect Mac OS X version 10.3--dubbed Panther--and are caused by memory errors in the kernel, according to an advisory released by ImmunitySec, the security company that found the flaws.
Apple confirmed that it had not been told of the flaws and said it was analyzing the vulnerabilities but would not elaborate.

The CSPP is a group of computer companies, that in 1995 included Apple, AT&T, Compaq, Cray, Data General, Digital Equipment, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Silicon Graphics, Stratus Computer, Sun Microsystems, Tandem, and Unisys.
Officials working for Apple and Silicon Graphics are documented by the Federal Election Commission (FEC) to be very large Clinton donors.
According to a May 1995 CSPP document sent to Ron Brown, "controls on computer exports to Russia and China for commercial, civil end-users should be eliminated; controls on exports for actual military end-uses may be appropriate until there is greater certainty that neither country poses a threat to U.S. national security."
